Approx 6” cutting
From the Ruth Bancroft Garden:
Echinopsis ‘Cherry Red’
Much hybridizing has been done with cacti in the related South American genera Echinopsis, Trichocereus and Lobivia. For a while, all of these plants were put into Echinopsis, and the hybrids are still usually called Echinopsis, This one is a Mark Dimmitt hybrid named ‘Cherry Red’, and the plant looks much like a Trichocereus, except for the brilliant flowers, which are a little on the orange side of red. The plant pictured has been in the Ruth Bancroft Garden for many years, and it has several intense episodes of flowering each year in late spring to summer.
Cutting will be approx 6” long, you get to root and provide it a new home.
Handle with CARE and please see our FAQ for basic care info.
**Cactus are not perfect, they may have small flaws, we try and photograph all sides of a cactus including any flaws that catch our attention, but please do not expect every spine to be perfect, these are growing cactus and like people, they have character!
